Life drawing is a skill that allows you to draw the human body better - its postures, motion, volumes and the fall of shadow across the body. A life drawing class is very different to how it would be drawing someone you know, where there is more of a relationship between the drawer and the model. It is very different to a strip club, where people go with the express intent of seeing nudity to become aroused. Nudity in the instance of life drawing is more a way of understanding the core of the posture without interference from clothing.
This is how I think of it anyway. I think the first few times I went I was a bit awkward about it.
